"In an online environment, human interaction does not just happen naturally. Your online students need a way to get to know you, the instructor, and others. There are several ways to encourage your students to interact with each other. The idea is to be creative and set several guidelines for students to follow in order to stimulate asynchronous discussions."

You’ll find here a bunch of techniques and suggestions. Save them for future use.

This article talks about 5 myths that come from eLearning. One, for example, is that elearning is not for every student. This is false. Programs and the internet and technology lets you optimize and change the ways it is introduced, shown, and interacted with.

One of the benefits of Moodle in the workplace is that it is so much more than a traditional LMS. Moodle was created as a collaborative learning system, long before the term ‘social learning’ became popular. We know that most learning in the workplace is done informally, so we have focused our infographic on how Moodle can be used to support the 70:20:10 learning framework, whereby 70% of learning is through experience, 20% through other people and 10% through formal, structured learning.

This Youtube video created by Sali Kaceli of Cairn University provides a pretty thorough introduction to Moodle over a guided 90-minute session. It covers basic navigation, editing your course and all of its features, using the grade book and continues to help flesh out a full course and ultimately ready your course for online delivery.

Mastery learning is the idea that students should adequately comprehend a given concept before being expected to understand a more advanced one. This idea has a long tradition in educational theory and research. In 1919, superintendent Carleton W. Washburne in Winnetka, Illinois, showed that students could advance at their own pace if they mastered a concept before moving on to something more complicated.

Years later, building on Washburne’s work, educational psychologist Benjamin Bloom coined the term “mastery learning.” In 1984, in Bloom’s seminal study, “The 2 Sigma Problem,” he showed that mastery-based one-on-one tutoring is two standard deviations more effective than conventional instruction. (That means it would take the average for a cohort of students from the 50th percentile to the 98th percentile!). Ever since, educators have sought ways to make mastery learning available to all students.

The way children use technology is very different from adults. This gap makes it difficult for parents and educators to fully understand the risks and threats that children could face online. As a result, adults may feel unable to advise children on the safe and responsible use of digital technologies. Likewise, this gap gives rise to different perspectives of what is considered acceptable behaviour.

Because there are so many tech resources available for educators, it can be a daunting task to research and find what might be best for your class. "21 Grab-And-Go Teaching Tools" shows the top websites, apps, and programs that teacher choose.
